Negro Please!!!!!!!
April 30, 2007 by Marc Lamont Hill

A week after his no-snitching comments on 60 Minutes received national attention and scorn, Cam’ron released an official apology for his infamous remarks about the “serial killer in 4-E.” In addition to being straight from a publicists pen, the remarks completely contradict the stance that he’s taken on snitching for years.
In 2005, I was a victim of a violent crime. I was shot multiple times without provocation by two armed men who attempted to carjack my vehicle. Although I was a crime victim, I didn’t feel like I could cooperate with the police investigation. Where I come from, once word gets out that you’ve cooperated with the police that only makes you a bigger target of criminal violence. That is a dark reality in so many neighborhoods like mine across America. I’m not saying its right, but its reality. And it’s not unfounded. There’s a harsh reality around violence and criminal justice in our inner cities.
But my experience in no way justifies what I said. Looking back now, I can see how those comments could be viewed as offensive, especially to those who have suffered their own personal tragedies or to those who put their lives on the line to protect our citizens from crime. Please understand that I was expressing my own personal frustration at my own personal circumstances. I in no way was intending to be malicious or harmful. I apologize deeply for this error in judgment.
It’s interesting what rappers say when they start offending White people. Suddenly, Killa Cam is saying that he’s afraid to talk to the police?

Cam’s apology sounds like Imus’s apology…
